Butler Sen said, “The signal on the island is often unstable, sometimes there and sometimes it’s not.”
“Then, use the landline.” Dr. Zhang said.
“I’ll go downstairs to make a landline call.” Teacher Yan Jin turned and went downstairs.
Ah Hua also recovered from her shock: “I’ll take you there.”
Yan Jin and Ah Hua left the room.
The people in the room looked at the abnormal mummified corpse in the room. None of them dared to approach.
Bei Yutang’s gaze swept back and forth across the room. The windows were tightly closed, and everything inside was neatly arranged. There were no signs of a struggle; the murderer must have killed Ke Hongyu in an instant.
How did the murderer enter the room, and how did the murderer manage to make his body look like this?
“Until the police arrive, no one should touch anything in the room. Protect the scene.” Bei Yutang whispered.
“Miss Bei is right. Let’s all get out of the room.”
The group left the room and returned to the hall.
“Did the call go through? When will the police arrive on the island?” Gongsun Mingyue asked anxiously.
Teacher Yan Jin replied, “The call went through. The police should arrive on the island in two hours.”
Now that a murder had occurred, everyone in the room felt heavy-hearted. Each of them could potentially be the murderer.
Bei Yutang turned to Butler Sen and asked, “Butler Sen, besides us, is anyone else living on this island?”
Everyone turned to Butler Sen.
They naturally didn’t want the murderer to be among them.
“No. Besides us, master and servant, there are only a few distinguished guests on the island. Before you came, it was just me and Ah Hua who looked after the house.”
“Your Master doesn’t live here?” The young girl Li Mengmeng asked.
“Our Master owns many properties; this is just one of them. He rarely comes here; once a year is considered good.” Butler Sen answered each question.
Bei Yutang asked again, “Has your Master been here recently?”
Butler Sen glanced at Bei Yutang and patiently replied, “No.”
“If not, then how did your Master lose something?” Bei Yutang immediately asked another question.
This question immediately raised suspicions among everyone present.
Faced with Bei Yutang’s persistent questioning, the butler remained calm and said without any annoyance, “That item was lost by the owner three years ago and has never been found. Left with no other option, we requested assistance from outsiders to search here.”
Bei Yutang was about to ask further questions when Yan Jin interrupted her, “Is it possible that someone from outside sneaked into the island? After all, this island is so large. If someone entered, we might not even know.”
“Teacher Yan is right. Could someone have sneaked in?” Gongsun Mingyue chimed in.
“Is there any security on this island? Anyone with a yacht can get in.”
“It’s impossible.” Ah Hua said.
Everyone looked at her with suspicion.
Ah Hua explained, “The sea leading from the coast to this island is often shrouded in fog. Only Uncle Atai can pass through the fog. Uncle Atai only brings us food regularly; he doesn’t enter the island at other times.”
The thug Feng Qing immediately said, “It’s possible that it was that guy named Atai who sent the assassin to the island.”
“Impossible.” Ah Hua’s voice suddenly rose, and she looked at Feng Qing with displeasure.
